Hope Solo says her time on “Dancing with the Stars” with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy was far more contentious — and violent — than the cameras let on.

In her new memoir, Solo: A Memoir of Hope, the Olympian accuses the pro dancer, whom she often clashed with on-screen, of slapping her face “hard” during a rehearsal last fall.

Solo also claims Chmerkovskiy “manhandled me in rehearsals from the start, pushing me, whacking my stomach, bending my arms roughly.”
